Best or Recommended time for a car wash over

[apt2a]

Sorry for my ignorance but when would be the best time to have a washover?

Is it necessary?

What's your experience regarding washover? Would it really bring the new car paint quality?

Most people have their wash over during summer, low humidity = better paint job.

Will it be like factor paint? NO

Will it be better than original paint? Arbitrary

Will it depreciate your car value? YES

beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder, po.
i have seen running cars, whose paint condition reminds me of a kulahan.
it all depends on you, sir. there are no rules. and you won't get flagged down for an ugly paint job. guaranteed.
look at your pocketbook first, then decide.
one thing: if bare metal is exposed, have it painted asap. kahit primer lang. avoid rust.

It really depends on the condition of your paint. I’ve seen cars that are still new but have swirl marks and faded paint all over. If you plan to have a washover, consider a shop that will include glass coating with it. A shop in Bacoor has that, & the price with glass coating is not too far off from just a plain washover.

I will avoid having my car repainted as much as possible. Almost all paint shops, hindi kayang pantayan ang quality ng factory paint.

Even my friend who actually owns a paint shop advises the same.

I've a bad scratch on the LH door of our 22year old I just left alone for this reason. Factory paint is very difficult to match...not just color-wise.

The only time nagpapapintura kami ng kotse is if when there is a scratch deep enough na exposed na yung bakal. Iwas kalawang lang.

Pag plastic lang yung tama, bahala na hehe

[erick_214]

why don't you try waxing it with nano ceramic first, bKa yan lang ang kailangan. Most old cars yan lang ang ginagawa, but dependent sa overall quality ng existing paint mo.

In my case, bangga/deep scratch, panel lang pinapa paint ko.

When to do a full body paint... 1.5months after I put a for sale sign and wala pa din good offers.

*ts
no rule at all.
depends on the wallet and if you can afford to take the car offline for 2 to 3 weeks.

as for me, whenever my car accumulates enough dents and scratches that i cannot ignore anymore, i would go for a full washover / repaint rather than doing per panel. gray / silver is really hard to match.

Even the best paint shops can't match the original factory paint of your car. that is a fact. Caring for the original paint is really a challenge overtime while you own your car but it is still the best paint your car ever had. But, there are really reasons when you need a washover, like when your car has no shaded parking most of its lifetime and most of its top portions are flaking and faded, too many dimples/dents, deep scratches, rusted/corroded panels, etc. If this is the case of your car, find a good paint shop with a legit paint oven and a very meticulous painter (and latero if needed). Also be ready to replace weather strippings (with OEM) that will be inevitably damaged during the painting process....

I don't think it would really matter if it doesn't match factory. Who cares? I mean, if it's an old car and the paint is already oxidized and fading, then, repaint it by all means. It's an eyesore for crying out loud. I've seen really good paint job on an old car. But, I think it is good to avoid shops without a paint booth. You know, those guys painting by the roadside. Lol

Anyway, you can see samples of the finished product. On the spot, you are able to judge how good the paint job is. Best practice is to visit a few of them and decide.

I've yet to see paintwork done aging as well as factory.

I wonder if the job done by Alex Restoration is comparable... they charge about 350k for a whole body paint!

[StockEngine]

no sense in restoring if the owner doesnt know how to take care of the paint in the first place [emoji28]

You own a BMW and yet you can't afford a proper paint shop with a booth? Face palm to the 10th power.

All the dusts and debris will stick to the paint like glue and will be laminated with it. Expect it to crack, peel and bubble with all the contamination.

Tsk! Tsk! Nightmare.

Thanks for the validation. Kahit konti na lang siguro idadagdag ko sa repair and repaint ng passenger door at ng bumpers ko para sa washover, I was having reservations nga na baka hindi makuha yung factory paint.

some of my car's panels were painted like this.
after several years, they're still ok.
and i expect them to be still ok after several more years.
but then, mine weren't black.
and i don't join beauty contests.

Might be fine for you with dusts, dog hairs, sands and gravel mixed with the paint (LOL). But, I wouldn't recommend this type of paint work, environment and oblivious to safety to anyone. Not that hard finding a paint shop with a booth with proper safety gears like masks, paint suit and all.
